Wildlife!

Here are some photos of the wildlife we spotted at Raven Pointe. From May to September, you can expect to see black bears roaming around. This region is home to one of the highest concentrations of black bears in the country. During this time, we also spot herds of elk migrating through the area. Some herds have been as large as 40 elk! Mule deer are common year-round, and you can also find red foxes, grey foxes, coyotes, wild turkeys, chipmunks, and even mountain lions!

We startled this herd of elk on our walk one morning.

These three elk cows and two calfs resting in the heat. Calves are hiding behind their moms.

Picture is grainy but it was clearly on the front porch.

This mom and cub were outside the bedroom window.

Little cub was spooked by something in the woods. As it turned out is was his sibling!

This guy was in the front yard and ran when we stepped outside to go someplace.

Two mountain lions caught on the barn camera. You can barely see the second one coming out of the dark.

The second lion was a little smaller indicating this could be a male female pair.

A cute little Red Fox

This little Grey Fox walked up, sat down and watched the cul-de-sac and then hopped along its merry way!
